I am training my replacement at work. I am the proverbial "go to" person and very entrenched into the goings on of the company and making things happen. They rushed to find my replacement so we'd have two weeks for training in hopes that this new person will be able to keep up.

Funny, a lot of people keep coming up to my desk and saying "Im sorry" to which my reply is "sorry for what?" Apparently they are sorry for them, not for me.

I'm thrilled.

Very few people do, primarily bankers and government employee's, and the post office, whichever category they fall in.

I had to replace the driver's side hub @ 240K.

Replaced the rotors also.

Had to re-connect the passenger side UVCH connector again.

Used the shims from Ford this time. $15.00

Bought a new Dodge on Saturday.

In the interest of inflating the post count, and with tongue firmly in cheek, I say.....


Hey, a truck is a truck, right?

No worries. The PSD is going nowhere. I now own a truck from all of "the big three".

Out of curiosity... why? I've got 3 vehicles: Nyx, my 94 Subaru for really crap weather, and my 96 Passat TDI for making long trips cheap. I'm just wondering if there is a reason, or "just because I can".

Dallas and I had scrambled egg and bacon sammiches for breakfast this morning. Going to take a nap like Dan and then make a run into Conroe to run errands.

Joe, what kind of Dodge did you buy, diesel?
